Building skills for the future

New College Lanarkshire works closely with North Lanarkshire Council to provide an exciting and innovative vocational education programme to complement the senior phase of Curriculum for Excellence.

Contained in the option choices, pupils from S3 and above will be given the opportunity to study a college programme while continuing to follow the school curriculum for the rest of the week.

There are a variety of courses on offer, which provide hands-on experience and allow pupils to learn about the career options across a range of subjects.

The emphasis for our young learners is on developing skills for the world of work and the aim of this digital guide is to empower you to inform learners as early as possible about the choices available to them through the school/college partnership.

Essential skills and qualities needed for the future, including confidence-building, communication, teamwork and problem solving, are developed in every area of our curriculum portfolio. These skills are all transferable, so can be used when the pupils move into the workplace.
